I read about the venerable monks that walk across America to bring the message of peace right now. And haleluya for the greatest algorithm.. my social media feeds are full of their stories right now..

Inspired by them, this morning I wrote in my journal. This is my peace day… No one can take my peace but myself. And since my focus word this month is light, I will not let anyone or myself let my light shine low.

And the universe loves it dearly when I write such things. They readily come up with a test! And this morning, an email from HR came, a very very junior staff from X department is promoted to be a senior staff member. And suddenly my ego is in charge. Seriously? My goodness… So many of us are way longer than her working in this office; when I say we .. what I really mean is me.

Then my ego did her usual thing to my mind, this is unacceptable!! You should be brave enough to come up to your direct manager. Ask him for a raise! This company is funny beyond laughter! Unbelievable… BLA BLA BLA miaw miaw miaw.

And then the other me, maybe the one who is always doing the meditation chipped in. You know your worth. It’s more important the way you see yourself than others. No one can take your peace but you, remember that? Just this morning darling. Come on. You are better than this. Sure, promotion is shiny.. but you have your own light already. Irreplaceable. Again, you promise not to let anyone or yourself let your light shine low.

Ya… True. I’m content in this place. And every time I lean to the contentment, then my brain rewires accordingly. True, it’s scientifically back up, if you feel lucky and content then your brain will continuously scan the environment for the evidence of this information. That you are lucky and content. I’ve read it somewhere.

So… Either this is me trying to soothe myself… Or I’m really already at this point in life where everything and everyone is correctly where they are, let it be. Amen.
